This is yet another gem from a band who is no longer among the living. Hailing from Pensacola, FL, The Cripple Lilies were a heavenly blend of harmony, strummed strings and woodwinds that stole the heart of your humble narrator a few years back. With this, their sole full-length, they achieve a level of pleasantness that is so remarkably hard to find these days. My heart skips a beat every time I hear, "Bella of the Rocks." Not too soft and not too cheesy, La Bête is just right. Play this record while you have yourself a cup of coffee. You'll be astounded when you realize that you won't be requiring any sweetener.For fans of: Winterpills, Kings of Convenience, The Wooden Birds

How did you manage to stumble upon this?
I played a show with them a long time ago when I played in a band that I no longer play with.
Just a note for interested readers/listeners. La Bete has been re-released in digital format via Big Rig Records www.bigrigrecords.net
